Hannah's Koney Island owner to open Athena's Diner on S. Cedar

Fans of Greek cuisine will have a new place to get their fix when the new Athena's Diner opens on S. Cedar St. in the former Jon's Country Burger building. The new restaurant, which will serve both Greek and American fare, will be owned by local restaurateur, Anton Prenaj. 

 

Area diners may be familiar with Prenaj's restaurant of eight years, Hannah’s Koney Island in East Lansing's Hannah Plaza. The new Athena's Diner, says Prenaj, will be both similar to and different from his existing restaurant.

 

"We will have great food, and our service will be very nice," he says. "It's not going to be a Coney Island, but it will be a family diner."

 

Prenaj hopes to open Athena's Diner in about one month, and expects to employ a staff of about 15 employees.
